Lipidomics of human umbilical cord serum: identification of unique sterol sulfates
نویسندگان
چکیده
AIM There are currently limited lipidomics data for human umbilical cord blood. Therefore, the lipidomes of cord sera from six newborns and sera from six nonpregnant females were compared. MATERIALS & METHODS Sera lipidomics analyses were conducted using a high-resolution mass spectrometry analytical platform. RESULTS Cord serum contained a diverse array of glycerophospholipids, albeit generally at lower concentrations than monitored in adult serum. The unexpected observations were that cord serum contained several neurosteroid sulfates and bile acid sulfates that were not detectable in adult serum. CONCLUSION Our data are the first to demonstrate that cord serum contains bile acid sulfates that are synthesized early in the hydroxylase, neutral and acidic pathways of primary bile acid biosynthesis and support previous publications of cord blood perfluoralkyl toxins in newborns.

BACKGROUND Wound healing is a complex and dynamic process following damage in tissue structures. Due to extensive skin damage caused by burn injuries, this study determined the role of human adult peripheral and umbilical cord blood platelet-rich plasma on proliferation and migration in human skin fibroblasts. METHODS Platelet-rich plasma (5, 10, 15, 20 and 50% PRP) from human umbilica...
